Best Ram for O/C MSI Neo4 Plat/SLI

[alkemyst]

Here's the basic breakdown:
CPU: Winchester Athlon 64 90ns 3200+
CPU Clockspeed: 3820+ (2520MHz): 280.0 x 9, 3x HTT
CPU Voltage: 1.525
CPU Heatsink: Thermalright XP-120 (Artic Silver 3)
CPU Fan: Panaflo 120mm FBA12G12L1A (68.9 cfm / 30.0 dB / 1700 rpm)
Motherboard: K8N Neo4/Platinum
Northbridge Cooler: Factory
Memory: OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 PC3200 (2x512MB, 2-2-2-5 1T)
Memory Speed: 229.1MHz 2-3-3-7 1T
Memory Voltage: 2.9

I can't get above 230 on the memory without it not posting/failing Prime.

Would better memory help? Any changes to my settings above recommended?

I have tried raising the mem and cpu voltage with no help.

hey man, what divider are you trying? i couldnt get past 230 with 100/133, i'd recieve no post. but my ram seemed to like 166 (or maybe its the board/bios??), try that out, i can push up to 270+ now but because im only divided at 166 my ram won't let me OC to it stabily, but im solid at current setup.

edit; by the way check out the MSI forums as I theres also a 230 bug with a solution to the problem (which didn't help me out of course)

166

200 doesn't work for anything over 200 for some reason.

What's the MSI forums? I am not sure where they are.

thanks

Thinking it's the chip....looking at a possible Opteron solution.

Still my numbers aren't that bad considering what stock is.
